Crowdfunding Campaign 2016 for The Wolf School

The Wolf School is a story about tenacity and entrepreneurship, a story about one family’s challenge and a community that rose in response.

It started in 1999, when Andrew Wallerstein and Mary Sloane reached out to a small group of professionals about their son, Otto, who, despite best efforts at an outstanding school and significant tutorial and therapeutic interventions, was not progressing academically. This founding group believed that children like Otto, with complex learning profiles, could best learn in an alternative educational environment, and they set out to create it.

As other families sought out solutions for their children’s struggles and heard about Wolf, enrollment grew. Over the years Wolf went from three students in a single rented room, to 35 students requiring the purchase of our current building. Today, our enrollment is at an all–time high of 62 students, with growing numbers already lined up for September.
